Chapter 343: Let's talk first
Chapter 343
It is also for this reason that many young children go out into the mountains and forests mostly talking and laughing, without any sense of tension.
Not far after entering the mountain, Xu Mingshi reined in his horse and said, "Grandfather, grandson wants to walk in the woods alone."
He followed his grandfather into the mountain last year, and was ridiculed by many people who had not been weaned. He also claimed that he was relying on his grandfather to get the prey, falsely claiming that he had hunted it.
Boys must have a strong temperament. Before entering the mountain, they decided to be alone.
is not only to stop others’ mouths, but also to make oneself have a clear conscience.
Listening to the grandson’s request, Zhen Guogong listened to the faint chattering and laughter all around, and then nodded: “Go, remember not to be strong in everything, no matter whether you have hunted the prey or not, you will go out when you hear the drums.”
At his grandfather’s look of "just for fun, anyway, we don’t lack such broken bows at home", Xu Mingshi knowingly responded: "Grandfather rest assured, grandchildren have a sense of measure."
Looking at his grandson riding far away, Zhen Guogong carefully recognized the movement around, and then drove the horse forward without hesitation.
It’s okay that grandson doesn’t want to follow him, after all, he came to hunt today too.
And now, he is going to find his prey.
After Xu Mingshi had made up his mind to be self-reliant, after leaving his grandfather, his plan to "rely on my own" still didn't go well.
At this moment, watching a gray rabbit covered in blood and half dead in front of him, and holding his head up to make a third eye that looks like "Look, I'm not the kind of bird that eats free food", Xu Mingshi's mood is complicated.
Seeing that he did not move, and the rabbit was struggling again and wanted to escape, the big bird caught the rabbit back with a paw, and hurriedly called at the boy.
"..." Fearing that the more the delay, the more noticeable, Xu Mingshi's only action was slow to hit an arrow.
Because it was close enough, the rabbit could hardly move, so it shot without any suspense.
Xu Mingshi got off the horse, with a difficult expression, he picked up the prey that was not his own and threw it into the bamboo basket on the back of the horse.
Then, he turned his head and said to the big bird sternly: "Tianmu, take this as an example..."
He is not the kind of person who likes to cheat.
His original intention is to hope that he can have a clear conscience during this trip.
Although... when an arrow hit the rabbit, he faintly felt as if he was dirty.
The next situation is to make him go farther and farther on the road against a clear conscience.
Tianmu did not help him catch prey anymore.
However, once a prey appeared, he chased it here, and his third eye blocked it from running on the other side... With more and more tacit cooperation, Xu Mingshi only felt like a hunter with a hunting dog into the mountain.
On the other side, Shang Shu Jixiu of the Ministry of War hit a chipmunk that was foraging with an arrow.
He has not been interested in hunting for many years.
Besides, I can’t keep up with my physical strength now. I usually take a sedan when I go in and out, and I rarely ride a horse.
There is no plan to grab the limelight with young people this time.
But they are all here. If you go back empty-handed, it will make people think that his former three camp commander is no longer useful.
So, more or less still have to bring something back.
However, when the arrow in his hand just left the string, suddenly an arrow flying from nowhere rushed in front of him and hit the chipmunk!
Which one is not so unruly?
Ji Xiu frowned and turned his head to look, but he saw the gray hair that slowly drove the horse closer to the place, but the figure was still burly and tall, and the man with a curly beard was undoubtedly Lord Zhen Guo.
"It turned out to be General Xu." Perceiving the unkind aura of the opponent, Ji Xiu sneered and said, "A rat, is it worthy of General Xu to grab it?"
"Snatch? Even if the old man can't shoot an arrow, you may not be able to shoot it!"
Ji Xiu heard the words and looked at the place where his arrow fell, and he was indeed still a little away from the chipmunk that was firmly nailed to the place by the other's arrow, and his expression turned red and white.
Then, facing the straight eyes of Lord Zhen Guo who was sitting high on the horse with contempt and contempt, his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
To be honest, before the world was settled, he, who was still unknown at the time, was in awe of the famous General Xu, but this awe has faded over time.
But over the years, he has only fought secretly with Xia Tingzhen, and he agreed that the government of Zhenguo had always been a well-watered man. Why did the other party suddenly provoke him this time?
And what is the reason for the look that seems to be at him in the next moment?
This thought just appeared in Ji Xiu's mind, and before he could think deeply, Lord Zhen Guo had already drew out the whip around his waist, waved it, and made an ear-piercing sound in the air. Without a word, he threw it at one person and one horse. Past!
He shot quickly and ruthlessly, wherever the long whip passed, the whip wind rolled down pieces of green leaves.
Unsuspecting Ji Xiu's pupils shrank sharply.
The whip came so fiercely that the horse under him screamed and stepped on his front hoof to flee.
In this gap, the whip was already in front of Ji Xiu's body.
He even felt that the whip really fell on him, and he might be able to cut him in half!
At this time, in addition to life-saving, it is no longer possible to have other thoughts.
Ji Xiu didn't care about anything anymore. In order to avoid the life-threatening whip, he leaned back and rolled down from the horse.
The frightened horse lost the restraint of the rein and ran away immediately.
Before running, he accidentally stepped on Ji Xiu who fell to the ground.
"What is General Xu doing! I don't know where Ji has offended the general and made General Xu cruel!"
Ji Xiu, who was stepped on his face by the horse's hoof, turned into anger, and reluctantly climbed up from the ground and asked in a deep voice.
Guogong Zhen jumped off his horse, and his face was cold, still not in a hurry to say anything, he only raised his leg and kicked the person who had just stood up to the ground again.
He has no intention of talking nonsense with this kind of rat, anyway, his purpose is to hit people, so let's fight first.
Ji Xiu fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and sweating.
Looking at the old man who had been fighting for most of his life and had already practiced fierce energy, he walked towards him step by step, and he began to move back fearfully.
Until his back was stuck in front of a sturdy tree, he couldn't retreat.
At this moment, when he clearly felt the threat to his life, Ji Xiu's fear in his heart was magnified to the extreme, and the anger on his face was almost uncontrollable: "General Xu...If Ji Mou did something wrong, he still hopes to speak bluntly... …As an official in the same dynasty, General Xu acted so recklessly, I am afraid it would be useless to himself!"
